Noticed Fairy, Promethean, and Skepdick seem to have found their ways back. Welcome back, guys (and gal)!

Naw, i can't come back. In 20+ years on forums, all I've found are clowns and cyberstalkers. It's like a never-ending cheep monster movie. I've finally broken free, Gary, and i can never go back!

Kay bye.

Wait!!! Don't walk away alone. Take Skepdick with you.

Against my better judgment... I lurked without logging in since February.

Only if to annoy FlashDangerDork, I regret my absence.

You made some great postings.

You could always come back as Vinnie Barbarino.

Of course i did. Unfortunately, you'll have to cherish those that i have given you because i can give no more. The stalking is outta control now, and I've gotta go full internet black out.

I pull up fifteen minutes ago and the cat lady tells me a big new white SUV pulls up in front of the house, sits for a second, drives around and then in front of my truck, parks, then pulls across the street to the other curb, parks, then leaves.

No houses are for sale, so it's not a house shopper. No gps would confuse someone such that it would take them that long to realize they're at the wrong house and then leave.

Last year, a similar thing happened. I pull up, and the neighbor is standing in her driveway with the cops on the phone as a guy in a car sits parked across from her house by the curb. She's staring at the car and describing it to the cops. Moments after i exit my car, he drives off. I'd have asked her what that was about if i didn't think she thinks I'm a child molestor.

And the incident with the screen at night. Something sharp stabbed at the screen in the window... hitting the glass with a loud thunk and tearing a hole in the screen. Window is too high for a four-legged animal, and no bird would have ripped a hole like that in the screen by flying into the window.

Same people? Dunno. Moderately wealthy... the SUV, travel expenses... they aren't from around here unless it's a local PI hired by one of my stalkers.

All this because my personal info has been posted on a forum. What will happen next... i have no idea. I'm essentially trapped here, and the cops are totally useless. Again, i emailed a warning to the attorney general. A last warning, in fact.

So there you have it. I'm done with social media.

Not just that the State fails to protect you from its howling mobs but that it puts you in that danger in the first place. Can there be greater proof for the illegitimacy of the State and the absolute justification for violence against it? And does this not extend all the way into heaven? Decidedly so.

We will bring the incompetent coward down from his hiding if we have to set his whole world on fire to do it.

See now you sonsabitches got me posting again. I need a f****** circle of illegalists, not philosophers.

Oh... one of em is an indian. I know this because of the accent. What they're doing now is contacting me for my services and sending me out to some random address to do a quote.

So i waste my time driving out there in my Acura with blown head gaskets because a capitalist recently broke the motor mounts in my truck while doing a $3,600 trans rebuild and it's been parked and plateless for a month. I now face $5,000 in credit card debt and my already reduced workload (i can't advertise because customers might read that I'm a child molestor) is cut in half again because i don't have my truck to haul materials, debris, tools, etc.

Indian, though. That's strange. The stalker culprits i have in mind are hardly indian.

It's time for me to check-out again, too. It has been fun, but with each return it seems I can only play in this sandbox for brief amounts of time. More trails to explore. Have fun!

Good luck to you.

You too! We'll be heading into the wild again soon.

I was talking to a neighbor down the road.
One of his jobs was crossing guard.
A kid was mouthing off to him while screwing around the moving cars.
He grabbed the kid by the arm to stop him. Kid's daddy ... attorney.
Admittedly, anger probably improved his grip.
Screwed up the neighbor's life.
No mercy. Poor guy. It happened years ago.

You could be a political advocate for tort reform, or at least an organizer.
Good people, I should also say sincere people, who have paid for mistakes, done their best, followed the rules, do have obstacles others don't.

The Unified Data Base that AI is currently working on, is going to change that, when everything about everyone is known.

Then, the power will be with those who have an AI multi-pass.
It will be kinda like politicians weaponizing information, just as they weaponized government institutions and twisted the law to unfairly attack Trump.

The Watchers ... they will likely be unqualified to hold that 1984 brand of power.

"You could be a political advocate for tort reform, or at least an organizer"

The kind of reform necessary to prevent what happened to me would involve changes much too radical. I'm a black swan event that has unconcealed the most fundamental errors and contradictions (with their most maximum force) in the civil contract. That i have only happened once does not grant any pardon to this or give it any less gravity. One angry black swan is worth more than a thousand satisfied turkeys. My philosophical importance is invaluable, sir.

But to start, you'd have to gut the whole system... starting with sacking the courts and throwing them all in jail. Then you'd have to line the politicians and their familes up in front of a firing squad.

These things will clearly never happen, so there is no point in making efforts for reform. Therefore, i am an insurrectionist rather than a revolutionary. I do not wish to organize against the State but to disintegrate all organization entirely. To live in full disregard for property rights, the rule of law, and to actively engage in reclamation against the capitalist and political class.

Regarding AI and the Watchers and all the dystopian stuff around the corner. It doesn't matter that you are confused about what will be the cause of this because it can't be stopped anyway. This means even if you suddenly did wake up, shout "eureka Marx!" and start smashing your maga mugs all about the kitchen... your grandchildren's children will still inhabit a world where people are laboring unnecessarily and living with far fewer liberties and freedoms. This future was set in historical stone about the time big Len died and Stalin took over. Long story and rife with Hegelian jargon I'd rather spare you.

In regard to welcoming the good side of a coin …

“Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work”
Gustave Flaubert

Folks often direct the energy conversely to Gus’s advice. The need to be precise, orderly and meticiulous in one’s work can create the need for speed, or violence, or originality in thought and action outside of work. Stream of consciousness can elevate or just become mundane. Intellectual elevation isn’t always pissing on the world from a high perch.
